Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) In the 4th minute Claudinho Correia shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but André Paes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 9 minutes into the game, Murillo Pereira lined in a short shot 1-0 behind a frustrated Hernani Branco. Hernani Branco was a little too slow when Arsenio Javiar got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 13th minute. The score was now 2-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tales Cosme in the 17th minute of play forced Real Madrid FC's goalkeeper André Paes to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. André Paes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tales Cosme, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in Itaguara's zone, Lucas Ceresso stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hernani Branco came out of the goal and Lucas Ceresso tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match clock showed 38 minutes, the score became 4-0 when Murillo Pereira sped through Itaguara's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Hernani Branco. Itaguara's Hernani Branco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rolando Bortzaioriz in the 46th minute of play. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Murillo Pereira was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Murillo Pereira in the 58th minute of play forced Itaguara's goalkeeper Hernani Branco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 60th minute of the match Aloísio Arruda sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but André Paes skillfully saved the ball. After having played for 64 minutes, Guto do Nascimento managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Real Madrid FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Guto do Nascimento was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When the match clock showed 67 minutes, the score became 6-0 when Murillo Pereira sped through Itaguara's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Hernani Branco. Tomas Abechuco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Hernani Branco tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Itaguara's Cléberson Carneiro got a free kick in the 74th minute. After recieving a nice pass, Real Madrid FC's Rolando Bortzaioriz tried to score from far away in the 75th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. In the 80thth minute of the game Murillo Pereira who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Itaguara's Hernani Branco was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Claudinho Correia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. André Paes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 88th minute of the match, Tales Cosme got a very nice opportunity to score, but André Paes was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Lucas Ceresso blasted a shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Hernani Branco having to make a save. If Murillo Pereira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Real Madrid FC walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
